Episode 134 - NFB 2023 Resolution Recap: Everyone Can Do It Privately and Accessibly

It’s an all new That Real Blind Tech Show. The entire gang of Allison, Brian, Ed, and Jeanine are all here with are great audio back to normal now that we are off the road.

 

We start things off discussing Ed and my Flight for Sight travel adventures, and some fun recording issues we ran in to while on the road. Allison then lets us all know what Brian is like as a houseguest. To learn more about Flight for Sight check out their website.

 

We then dive in to the 2023 NFB Resolutions discussion, and you can read all of the resolutions that were passed here.

 

While we don’t cover all the resolutions that passed, we do start off discussing resolution 1 which has to do with web accessibility and the Department of Justice.

 

Resolution 2 deals with state VR and their usage or lack of usage of funds.

 

Resolution 3 has to do with the accessibility of Twitter.

 

Resolution 4 was about accessible absentee voting.

Resolution 5 has to do with real time audio delays at live sporting events for the four major sports.

Resolution 6 is about the enforcement of 508, and thank goodness Jeanine was here to explain 508 to all of us.

Resolution 8 has to do with the Department of Transportation.

Resolution Now we get in to the silly resolutions, as Resolution 13 has to do with the way chat bots and A.I. define blind peeps.

 

And we came up with the best solution to Resolution 15 the inaccessibility of CSPAN votes.

We then get an update from Jeanine about her time at this year’s ACB Conference.

Then we hit up an email and recent phone call from our buddy over the pond.

 

And if you are in the Long Island area, make sure to come out to the Inaugural Laugh For Sight Long Island on Monday August 7, 2023. For tickets.

 

And it’s more of Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading.
